"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

What we are watching, as this AI insanity continues, is the completely unprovoked and unnecessary ritual suicides of the largest tech companies in the world, all in service of and chasing after the unattainable dream of Infinte Growth™️.
None of this was necessary. All of this could have been avoided. Here we are anyway.
When the dust settles, and AI dies, as it was always going to, NEVER LET THEM FORGET that they did this. Never let them forget that they shunned good sense and common decency and sound economics to chase the impossible on nothing more than an annoying, ugly, ungodly expensive and masturbatory dream. That they threw away EVERYTHING to chase something that never worked, was obviously never going to work, and that everyone hates.
Never let them forget it. NEVER.
